501 Golden Cir

A mid-rise condominium complex built in 1973 set against the foothills at the edge of Golden. The development is organized as garden- and low-level walk-up buildings surrounded by landscaped grounds, ponds and walking paths that include playgrounds, community gardens and a fenced dog park. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts (with occasional three-bedroom variations in listings) featuring open floorplans, eat-in kitchens or breakfast nooks, primary suites with walk-in closets and compartmentalized baths. Interior finishes commonly include laminate or Pergo and carpet flooring, solid-surface or laminate counters, ceiling fans, and wired-for-data provisions; many units have in-unit laundry. Private outdoor space is typical with balconies facing the greenbelt or front-range views. Shared amenities emphasize recreation and social life: a clubhouse with meeting and gaming rooms, fitness center, indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, spa/hot tub and sauna, tennis courts, basketball and sand-volleyball courts, billiards/theater rooms, and reserved uncovered parking with ample guest spaces. The HOA covers utilities such as heat and water plus exterior maintenance and snow removal. The complex sits near light rail, the Colorado School of Mines, bike paths, parks and easy access to I-70 and US 6 for mountain and Denver commutes.
